Reading in csv file into an open workbook

[ces005]

Hi,

I am trying to create a macro which reads in the selected .csv file into a worksheet called CRData. When I run the macro which is attached to a worksheet, I would like the data to be added to the CRData worksheet. I have only written the code below and am stuck right now. Any advice would be appreciated.

' get name of the .csv file from the user
Dim lstrFileName As String
lstrFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="All Files(*.*), *.*", Title:="MyTitle:::: Select the File to Load")

' not sure if I should use Query tables
With ActiveSheet.QueryTables.Add(Connection:= _
"TEXT;" & lstrFileName & "", _
Destination:=Range("AD5"))

Worksheets("CRData").Cells.Clear

Hi Eileen, this version opens the CSV, copies the data across to AD5, and closes the CSV:

Sub ImportCSV()
Dim wbk As Workbook
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim lstrFileName As String

Set wbk = ThisWorkbook
Set sht = wbk.Sheets("CRData")
sht.Cells.Clear

' get name of the .csv file from the user
lstrFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Text Files (*.csv),*.csv", _
Title:="MyTitle:::: Select the File to Load")

'open CSV, copy
Workbooks.Open lstrFileName
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Copy Destination:=sht.Range("AD5")
ActiveWorkbook.Close False

End Sub

Hi Denis,

It worked well. Is there some way to configure it so that when it copies, autowrap is disabled in the destination worksheet (CRData)? Thanks.

Hi Eileen,

Yep -- it drives me crazy when I import data from Access too.
Add this line just before End Sub:

Range("AD5").CurrentRegion.WrapText = False

It is very odd. When I tried the above, I found that the wrap text configuration for the imported data was set to false except for column P. Any ideas what is going on?

The only difference from what was specified above was that I changed AD5 to A1.

Sub ImportCSV()
Dim wbk As Workbook
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim lstrFileName As String

Set wbk = ThisWorkbook
Set sht = wbk.Sheets("CRData")
sht.Cells.Clear

' get name of the .csv file from the user
lstrFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Text Files (*.csv),*.csv", _
Title:="MyTitle:::: Select the File to Load")

'open CSV, copy
Workbooks.Open lstrFileName
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Copy Destination:=sht.Range("A1")
ActiveWorkbook.Close False
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.WrapText = False
End Sub

If column P is not part of Range("A1").CurrentRegion then you won't remove the wrap on P -- I assume it's the last column in the import.

To check, put this in the Immediate window and press Enter, then check the worksheet:

Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Select

If P is not selected, you can change to

Range("A:P").WrapText = False
